    My wife was messing around on the computer and put a checkmark in the monitor register and she said that she clicked closed when the pop up popped up that has the red or green boxes (I know nothing about this cuz I never checked the box). She said it was red and I seen that red was to block. Now I ran Start up list and notice that McAfee VS wasn't there in the start up. Now when I restarted my computer McAfee VS starts. But the registry don't show that it starts up. Heres what the start up list says:

    StartupList report, 4/27/2003, 10:30:12 AM

    See it don't show McAfee starting, but McAfee starts. Now isn't this odd? I think SSM has something to do with it. Is there a way to fix this?

    Hi Notageek,

    Not familiar with McAfee but I found this on Pacs Portal:

    McAfeeVirusScanService
    Avsynmgr.exe
    From McAfee VirusScan version 5.x. Runs VirusScan System Tray (Vsstat.exe), WebScanX (Webscanx.exe), VirusScan System Scan (Vshwin32.exe) and VirusScan Console (Avconsol.exe) under one application

    Check your services to see if it starts from there. It will if my suspicion is right.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hi Pieter, McAfee still starts, it just show on Start up list that it's not in the registry. I just find this rather puzzling. I think my wife blocked it somehow with SSM. I just wanted to put it back in the registry as a start up. Could JV16 do this?

    Hi Notageek,

    Startuplist doesn´t show the Services that start up.
    Could you post a Autostart Viewer log.
    Download and run the program: Click Main > Show Services > Main > Save to create the .txt file.
    Or do you have a Startuplist from before?
    So I can see what´s missing.
    Like I said I´m not familiar with McAfee, and I don´t want it on my conscience to cripple your protection.
    JV16 will be of little help when you want to add something to the registry, unless it concerns restoring entries removed by JV16.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    It´s there allright. We´ll need some input from someone using McAfee to see if that is enough.

    Is using System Restore an option? Just to make sure.

    I have System restore ready to go if I have to use it. But I went to Cyber help forum and they said it wasn't loading from looking at Stratup list. I looked at ASveiwer and it showed it.
